Product Information

Iron – Malleable (ductile) iron is a good choice in industry because it is stronger than copper and plastic but it is rarely used in domestic installations.

Whether you’re looking for elbows, plugs, caps, nipples, naming but a few, our selection of malleable iron fittings will have what you are looking for.

Can’t Find The Press Fit Fittings You Are Looking For?

Whether you’re working for parts for a domestic heating system, exterior commercial system or simply want fittings with improved corrosion resistance, we have the stainless steel fittings you need. Stainless steel screwed, flexible, compression, tube and press-fit ranges are available. PEX – Cross-linked high-density polyethylene (PEX) is ductile and tough and works well in very low temperatures. When installing be aware that it can expand drastically and it needs to be shielded when used outdoors because it is susceptible to UV. The standard barbed fitting is used for connecting 16mm LDPE pipe together. The Fittings are made in the EU using UV stabilised plastic. The sharp barbs make sure that the Joint is reliable and once fitted they are rated to 6 bar unlike normal domestic barbed fittings that are rated to pressures between 2.1 and 2.8 bar. The reason for this superior performance is the and number of barbs and their shape. Once fitted they are almost impossible to remove and if a mistake is made in many cases they have to be cut off. This is because of the size and sharpness of the barb and this can only be made with precise tooling and technical expertise found in European factories. Using Barbed Fittings If there's a copper or brass end feed capillary fitting you need, BES has it. Our unbeatable collection includes elbow fittings, tee joints, reducers, stop ends & more.

Pipe fittings can be made in many different materials. Some materials are better for some functions than others: PVC & ABS – light and non-toxic. They have more 'give' than copper therefore when water freezes and expands in the piping there is little chance of it busting.The WRAS approval determines that this product can be used in all UK domestic plumbing applications including drinking water installations – as well as central heating and underfloor heating applications. Stainless steel pipe fittings are used to connect steel pipes. Tapered threads are cut into the end of the pipe, sealant is applied in the form of thread-sealing compound or thread seal tape (which is also known as PTFE or Teflon tape), and a pipe wrench is used to thread the pipe into a threaded fitting. Stainless steel fittings benefit from the metals strength, resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. What are stainless steel pipe fittings used for? At BES, we offer a comprehensive range of refrigeration fittings, including tees, elbows, reducers, and end caps.
